Evoplosoma sp. 2 Figure 10F This species was observed once. It was identified on the basis of the full series of pointed spines present on the superomarginal and inferomarginal plates as well as the short spinelets present on the abactinal surface and with distinct marginal plates forming an angular border around the animal’s periphery.
